Application filed June 1 8, 1 9 00.

To all whom it may cmwern:

Be it known that I, PHINEAs RUDIsoH, a Citizen of the United States, anda resident of New York city, County and State of New York, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Antimoth Wrapping-Paper, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to antimoth wrapping-paper which is soConstructed that the voiatile substances of insecticidal nature givenoff will be Concentrated upon the goods inclosed and will not bediffused outwardly. At the same time that the paper thus forms aSuperior protection against moths and other insects it also forms an airand water tight covering, so that in this way the goods are protectedagainst insects as Well as against the elements in a very superiormanner.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l represents a face view, partlyCut away, of a sheet of wrapping-paper containing `my invention; andFig. 2 is a cross-section thereof.

I provide a sheet of paper a upon one side With a Coating b, which isair and water proof, and upon the other side with a' coating c, whichcontains volatile substances giving off the moth-destroying vapors.

For the coating b, which is the outer coatserial No. 20,645. nuo model.)

preferably by rollers, though they may obviously be applied in adifferent man ner. The pitoh forms an outer air and water tight layer,which holds off the atmosphere and moisture from the goods wrapped up.At the same time it prevents the volatilization of the tar through thepores of the paper, concentrates the vapors upon the goods, and insuresa lasting action upon the same. In this way the life of the paper isgreatly extended and its moth-.destroying power increased, while thegoods are protected in a Superior manner.

What I Claim is- Antimoth-paper provided upon one side with a coating ofpine-tar, and upon its other side with a coating of pitch, substantiallyas specified. i
